I say that because the Bible indicates more than just these ten. Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the ...read more

Settlement means ? “an official agreement intended to resolve a dispute or conflict ...” (Google) ? As far as I am concerned, this is the best realm of settlement that anyone could wish for. I say this because, once upon a time, we were in conflict with God because of the fall of man in the garden ...read more
